There’s not much that my husband can’t fix. We owned quite a few Colorado College rentals, so when the dishwasher was misbehaving at one of them, it was not a problem for him to go and take care of it. A few days later, he was called back for the same difficulty, so he tried a different repair since the first one had obviously not been successful. After four such service calls, we decided that there was evidently something wrong with the dishwasher and replaced it with a new one.
Two days later we got the same call – water and suds pouring out of the dishwasher all over the kitchen floor. It finally 'dawned' on me that our ‘best and brightest’ college students are not smart enough to know that Dawn dish detergent is not designed to be used in automatic dishwashers. There is a uniqueness to the suds and the agitation inside the machine that allows water to pour out from places that you didn't know existed. Do NOT try it at home. It is NOT a pretty scene :)
